EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter wonderland of St. Moritz, Switzerland in 1936. The image captures the timeless sport of curling, which has long been a beloved pastime in this picturesque town. In the foreground, we see a group of enthusiastic individuals engaged in an intense game on an ice rink. Dressed warmly in their vintage attire, they skillfully slide heavy granite stones across the icy surface towards a target area known as the "house". With brooms in hand, they strategically sweep the ice to control and guide their stones with precision. The scene exudes both competitiveness and camaraderie as players focus on their next move while enjoying each other's company amidst breathtaking snowy surroundings. St. Moritz's reputation as a hub for winter sports is evident through this snapshot of active recreation. The monochromatic aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to this historic moment frozen in time. It reminds us of simpler times when outdoor activities were cherished and embraced by people seeking leisurely pursuits during colder months. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Underwood Archives' collection at Universal Images Group (UIG), it serves as a testament to how curling has stood the test of time at St. Moritz – continuing to bring joy, competition, and connection among its participants even after more than eight decades have passed since that chilly December day in 1936.
